last week I was reading in a thread about how women read, and I saw an anon explaining that women "skip" entire "boring" pages/paragraphs while reading a book.

yesterday my ex gf (still banging her sometimes) was talking with her female friend about pic related (sthey're both 19 yo) and said that she actually skipped some parts to get to the point faster...

i don't want to become a frogposter, please help me....

One who posts pictures of cartoon frogs to express their dissatisfaction with life, typically (but not always) directing this dissatisfaction towards women.

Just remember that making ridiculously broad generalisations based on a small number of examples is dumb and you'll be fine.

how about you just remember that women are not a hive mind, and that they're individuals, you cockmeat.

it's not about hivemind, it's a common characteristic women have while reading. not insightful shallow reading, of course not all women are like this, but it's still a female trait

Didnt you get the memo? Female traits dont exist, EVERYTHING is a social construct. Most men are so fucking blind in regards to women.. its amazing.

i think is better not reading at all and thinking it's gay than reading a gay and retarded ya novel while skipping its pages

You think that's bad? At least she finished the book. I fell for the Patrick Ruffus meme and tried to read his first Kingkiller book. I had to drop it midway because of the awful self-fellating prose.
